Whether you are working full time in Ireland and need global health insurance, or just traveling for two weeks to Cary, anyone traveling or working abroad needs the right international medical insurance scheme. In addition to the proper expatriate health insurance for those living full time in Ireland, here is a list of useful information for anyone working or traveling to Ireland.

Hospital care is generally free in public hospitals for local nationals of Ireland. Private health insurance allows people to skip the waiting lines of public health care facilities, to stay in private or semi-private rooms, and to have security against catastrophic medical problems. Private insurance allows people to see private physicians and go to private hospitals.
The waiting lists in the public hospitals can be up to 12 months, so private insurance is crucial.

An international medical insurance plan is very important for foreign nationals in Ireland. You need a program that works in the host country, regionally throughout the EU, and in the home country for return visits.
